Navigate your files in style with this impressive browser

By Mark Wilson | 17 May 10

Whatever you use your Mac for, it is likely that you spend a reasonable proportion of your time navigating through folders to access files. FileBrowse is an alternative file browser that not only makes it easy to find what you're looking for, but also looks great into the bargain.

Stunning 3D icons are generated on the fly complete with delicate shadows and anti-aliasing and icons display previews of the files they represent. As well as looking superb, this approach means that it is much easier to quickly identify files by sight without having to read file names.

Working like a web browse, a single click is all that is needed to open files, and command specific to different types of file, along with detailed file information, are displayed alongside individual entries. With the option of magnifying file previews, you will often be able to view file contents without the need to explicitly open it.

With a range of methods available for the grouping and sorting of files and folders, FileBrowse is an impressive alternative to Finder which is a joy to use.
FileBrowse is not just a Finder alternative, it is an entirely new approach to working with files and it is a unique take on the task.

FileBrowse is not just a Finder alternative, it is an entirely new approach to working with files and it is a unique take on the task.
